10 superstars to look out for at Euro 2024 including England star and France ace

Must read

International football tournaments offer opportunities for big names to cement their reputation after success at club level, and the upcoming European Championships is no exception.

The last edition of the tournament saw Italy pip England after a penalty shoot-out in the final, with Jorginho adding an international trophy to his Champions League success with Chelsea and ultimately taking third in the Ballon d’Or voting. Four years before that, Cristiano Ronaldo added an elusive international title with Portugal after countless successes at club level.




This time around, plenty of teams will consider themselves in with a shot of glory. That includes England, despite Friday’s defeat to Iceland seeing some temper their expectations.

How about the individual players, though? Here, Mirror Football takes a closer look at some of the stars we can expect to make their mark over the coming month.

1. Kylian Mbappe

Regarded by many as the world’s best player, Kylian Mbappe has once again had a stellar individual season in what has now been confirmed as his final campaign at Paris Saint-Germain before a summer move to Real Madrid. Mbappe’s major international achievements to date, however, have come predominantly in the World Cup.

Winning the competition as 19-year-old in 2018, Mbappe scored an unforgettable hat-trick in their 2022 final defeat to Argentina and has recorded 12 goals in 14 World Cup games. But the French talisman has European Championship demons to banish, having missed the decisive penalty when Les Bleus crashed out to Switzerland in the quarter-finals in his only previous appearance at this tournament.

The Real Madrid-bound superstar’s appetite for the big stage remains undimmed and he is still only 25. Expect him to set the competition alight.
